| Once a delightful pair of concentric stone circles, this was destroyed in the 17th century. The site of the stones are now marked by concrete pillars. Anthough it is by the side of the A4, this site still has an evocative atmosphere with a fine setting by the side of the Ridgway and a good view of the surrounding area. |
